I just wanted to say that i appriciate the support for the G15 Display
....BUT i dont find the information displayed on the LCD to be usefull in any way.

1. i know my (avatar's) name... no need for that
2. a Healthbar? and the Shields are listed in the most confusing way... you know, i allready have that info in front of me on the TFT.... why should i even bother to look down to the LCD?

constructive suggestions to make this somewhat usefull:

just show some statistics like

/played time
needed XP to next Lvl up
name of the Sector / Map / Instance i am in (so i can /tell friends without looking in the menue first)
number of online firends
number of recieved / unread messages in the mailbox
how much EC i have in the bank, maybe a cycling display of my xth order Badges of *whatever*...?

maybe give me the last updated quest info?
"destroy klingon squadrons 2/5" and let me hide the info from the screen (the less clutter on the HUD the better!)


Just sayin, if you go through the trouble of even implementing an STO Applet for the Logitech Displays you could also give us some information on that thing to make it worth using.

otherwise i will just use one of those applets:

you know, there i can see some more or less usefull information.

i know this is as low of a priority as it can get... but since i didn't see anybody saying anything about it i thought i just throw it out there....

    I *believe* that the coding was originally developed for CO and it's trying to display some very basic info because of that.

    I usually ignore it on my G15 because it's not useful. :)

    Yeah I agree the STO panel isn't very useful. I usually run SirReal's panel. It would be nice to see your sugestions implemented.

    I have a G15, the only time I use the display is when I am debugging LUA scripts for the keyboard. when playing I typically do not even look at the keyboard. I didn't even notice there was a display in STO.

    I have hard enough time keeping track whats on screen, don't need to be looking away to keyboard. If keyboard is close to screen, then your posture is very bad.

    I'd like to add to that list

    dps\damage
    access to chat windows, custom chat windows a bonus...
    fleet info.

    bought a g15 specifically for the game...i'm a little disappointed.
